First Assignment

Hello, would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year.

For my final blog of 2011 I wanted to share a highlight of 2011 which just happened earlier this month. On December 10th I had my first NHL assignment for Inside Hockey. I covered the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The Flyers won the game 5-2, here is the link so that you can see the photos. http://insidehockey.com/photo-gallery-tampa-bay-philadelphia OK, that's all for now folks.

Photography Workshop

This weekend Alicia and I were off to another photography workshop. Sandy Puc brought in another incredible workshop, which was entitled "Pin Up Alooza with Mike Long". Mike Long is a well noted Pin-Up photographer originally from England, currently based out of Portland Oregon. His sessions are all about bringing the cool, classy and sexy feel of the original 50's pin-ups into the 21st century. If you would like to see some of his Amazing work checkout his site at portlandpinups.com

CM County Zoo

The other day Alicia and I went to the Cape May County Zoo. The Zoo is located on Route 9 in the Cape May County Park in Cape May Court House. We wanted to see the new baby Snow Leopards and the Albino American Alligator and were not disappointed. It was a beautiful day and the zoo was packed!

The albino alligator is only going to be at the zoo until the middle of September. If your in Cape May County looking for something to do make sure you visit the Cape May County Park and Zoo. The Zoo is open 10 am to 4:45 pm daily.

Hurricane Irene

So the big storm is here! Hurricane Irene is being billed as one of the biggest storms of all-time. At this point the best thing to do is stay inside. Make sure that you have your phones, laptops and anything else that you can charge, charged up!

These photos are from earlier this afternoon in Somers Point, not many people were out. As you can see many businesses are boarded up and or have their windows taped up. I'll be out and about once Irene passes by. Hopefully, the power won't go out or not be out for too long.

OK everyone be smart and be safe,

Bill

Photography Workshop

Always looking to expand my photography knowledge and learn new skills, I had the opportunity to attend an awesome event. My wife Alicia and I attended Sandy Puc's Creative Edge Kids Photography Workshop in Philadelphia on Friday. Sandy is a nationally acclaimed photographer from Littleton, Co. She currently serves on the Board of Professional Photographers of America. Also, holds prestigious titles of Print Master and Explorer of Light from Canon USA. In 2008, she published her first book, The Sandy Puc Guide to Children's Portrait Photography.

Over the past few years I have tinkered with Children's Photography shooting my niece, nephews and a few friends children. Now with the help of my wife Alicia, we are going to be launching a new collaborative part of Bill Stahl Photography... involving a creative take on the average child's portrait. To get more information about our new venture follow our blog and Facebook.

Byron's Hockeyland

So it seems that I'm not so good at updating my blogs....I'm going to try to work at being better at this.

I recently did a commercial shoot for Milton Byron of Byron's Hockeyland. Milton sell's game worn hockey jerseys, game used sticks and equipment. Milton is a pioneer in the Game Worn industry, as he has been in the hobby since the early 80's. If you are a hockey fan or know someone who is, take a look at his website at http://byronshockeyland.com/. If it's hockey, he sell's it! If you need a jersey or collection authenticated he can do that also.

Dove - Evolution Commercial (higher quality)

Dove Evolution

This video is sad but so very true. The world is very messed up. Just pick up any magazine and take a close look at the cover, notice how everyone looks the same? You know, that almost alien look, the look that has everyone looking perfect. The world in which no one is old, no one is overweight, no one has wrinkles, etc etc. What a bunch of crap, we are not perfect, we are all different, with different strengths and weakness'.
The truth is, we are all beautiful in many different ways just the way we are.
